Randy Moss shows up a day early to 49ers camp

Randy Moss, model veteran?

Veterans aren't required to arrive at the San Francisco 49ers' facility until Thursday, but Moss showed up a day early. The 35-year-old WR strolled up to the facility Wednesday afternoon wearing a West Virginia hat, pulling a suitcase and holding a balance ball.

His early arrival is in line with his behavior since he signed with the team in March. One of coach Jim Harbaugh's requests of Moss after he signed was that he sit in the front row for team meetings. He's done that and has turned into a role model for younger players like Michael Crabtree and rookie A.J. Jenkins.
